I pull with a lifted duramax 4x4. Almost never need 4x4. But that is not never.... And those times count.
I don't worry about being stuck, or going somewhere I can't get it out of.
My buddy pulls a 24 Fountian, with a new dodge Cummings, duelly 2wd...... It sucks when I have to, unhook my boat, to hook to him to get him and his boat out of something... He will go 4x4 the next time 100%. Cause that few times you need it, YOU NEED IT!!!

I have a one ton dually powerstroke.
I was at a ramp in MI that was not that steep but had some sand on it. I went to pull up and all 4 wheels started spinning. I flipped the 4wd switch and up we went. Around 14k boat and trailer.
I went through these same thoughts when searching for a tow rig. Never have anything but 4wd after that. No one was around either.

lil red I read Mild Thunders thread on towing After I hauled the boat from Chicago to Texas thinking I was hauling 14,000 and found out I had 200 gallons of gas plus I think he said his 402 and trailer dry was 17,000 scared the #### out of me after the fact, but I gotta say that 3500 super duty van hauled it great! luckily it is docked and I only use the van to pull it out a couple times a year.

Can we assume your buddy has a Cummins instead of a Cummings?
I hope that was a fat finger typo.
